    What we’ve done in the above graph is dissected one branch of a company’s profit from a specific product. For a deeper understanding of the tree structure we’ll use the scarf industry as a model. The complete cost of a scarf breaks down into supply. Supply is then analyzed into two components: raw material, and added value to the product. The raw material would be the base yarn used to create an individual scarf. Let’s imagine that natural yarn is made from wool which comes in limited colors. To appeal to the yarn wearing market you would need to dye the yarn into popular shades. This customization is the added value to the products’ base price.
